As organizations expand their digital operations, managing the increasing costs associated with data ingestion becomes essential. Microsoft Sentinel’s Data Collection Rules (DCRs) offer a valuable solution, enabling companies to save on ingestion costs by filtering out non-essential data at the collection stage. By using DCRs, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) can better control data flow, enhancing their security visibility while optimizing cost efficiency. AVASOFT brings a wealth of expertise in helping organizations configure and implement DCRs, maximizing their Sentinel investment through strategic data management.
Data Collection Rules allow businesses to refine their data ingestion process, collecting only the necessary data and eliminating irrelevant logs before they reach Sentinel. This process not only optimizes storage costs but also ensures SOCs are working with cleaner, more relevant data for analysis. By enabling organizations to streamline data flow effectively, DCRs help minimize the storage and processing costs associated with Microsoft Sentinel. AVASOFT provides specialized support in implementing DCRs, ensuring that each configuration aligns with the organization’s data and security requirements.
